What is Starch Residues in Museum Artefacts about?

This study examines 11 museum artefacts for the presence and preservation of starch residues to enhance understanding of tool use in ancient societies. The findings indicate that organic plant residues, including starch granules, can be recovered from archived artefacts, with varying degrees of preservation observed. The research highlights the potential of using archived materials for residue analysis to gain insights into past human diets and food preparation practices.
